Maybe a lamination peel happened before striking?

I'm thinking it happened before the strike. Cool find! https://www.error-ref.com/laminatio...fore_strike/

Nice find, but that would be the Reverse, not the Obverse.
I'll fix the title for you.

And that is a great looking lamination.

If it were pre- strike wouldn't the obverse show weakness in that area? Just thinking out loud.

I was thinking the same. It's odd but there is weakness in the TRUST area instead of the IN GOD area....

Does the coin have a rotated die issue by chance?

Would the lam. area have more pressure on it when struck resulting in a slight tilt causing more metal on "In God", rather than on "In Trust"?

Thanks, Dearborn that was silly of me! Great link Erres and Varietys.
-makes cents-, It does not appear to have a rotated die. Thanks, everyone!

To me it looks more like a strike through cloth or something else. There is no look of damaged copper like a lam would have. It's more of a smooth surface. Maybe a weight might tell?
